Hobart 500574, IronMan 240 Flux-Core/MIG Welder Owner's manual

  • Hello! I'm your chat assistant, and I've reviewed the product detail for the Hobart 240 Welding Package. This document provides information on its capabilities, including a 30 to 280 amp output, and features such as infinite voltage control and spool gun readiness. I'm here to help answer your questions about this equipment.
  • What is the welding amp range?
    What is the rated output?
    What is the mild steel thickness range?
Outperforms the competition on arc
quality, voltage control and value.
Whether you’re a professional or just want to weld like
one, the IronMan 240 is unmatched in its class. It delivers
30 to 280 amps of pure power with an arc optimized to
deliver a flawless weld, making spatter and post-weld cleanup
almost nonexistent. Weld as thin as 24 gauge up to 1/2 inch
(13 mm) mild steel.
The dual-geared wire drive system with aluminum housing
delivers 50 to 700 ipm wire feed speed.
Reversible drive roll (two grooves for two wire sizes on one
drive roll) decreases spare parts and changeover time.
Easy to set and adjust for different materials and thicknesses
features infinite voltage and wire feed for finer control,
less spatter and cleaner welds.
Applications
Maintenance/repair Auto body Manufacturing
Construction Farm/ranch Metal art
Offers easier fine control of the output parameters for improved arc performance with less spatter for a better bead
appearance and less clean up.
Spool guns enhance feedability and reduce “bird-nesting” associated with soft aluminum wires. No additional control box
or adapter is required to connect the SpoolRunner 200 spool gun.
Experience smooth, spatter-free starts — the run-in feature automatically slows the wire feed speed to a pre-set speed
prior to arc initiation, improving arc starts.
50 percent less stocking of drive rolls. Standard one-piece drive roll decreases spare parts and changeover time,
reducing overall costs.
Changing wire spools is a snap with the toolless brake tension knob.
Provides easy access for spool and drive roll changes, increasing productivity and operator appeal.
Cooling system operates only when needed reducing power consumption and contaminants drawn into the machine.
Five-year warranty on transformers, stabilizers and main rectifiers; three years on generators, PC boards and drive systems;
and one year on guns (MIG, plasma and TIG torches).
